Saxon have announced that they’ll release a tour edition of Thunderbolt later this year.
The band’s 22nd studio album arrived back in February, with the new version set to launch on September 7.
Along with all 11 album tracks, the special edition will feature the Raw Version of Nosferatu which wasn’t available on the original vinyl, along with two live cuts: Thunderbolt, recorded in Frankfurt in March, and Nosferatu (The Vampire’s Waltz), which was captured during Saxon’s performance in Los Angeles in April.
The CD will also come with a 10x10 poster with live photographs of the band from their current tour.
Saxon say: “Thunderbolt did so well that we are having to produce more CDs to keep up with demand. The mighty Saxon are pleased to announce the Thunderbolt Special Tour Edition.”
Saxon are currently on on the road across Europe. Find a full list of their remaining 2018 live dates below.
